There have been several discussions regarding tire presure for autocross events on the board, but little mention relating to tire pressures for street tires at a HPDE.
Track: Road America Temps: 50's/60's Tires: Kumho Ecsta MX So what would you say is a good starting point? |

In the manual for my Camaro (no, I didn't read it all), it says to use 38 psi or the max pressure on the tire sidewall (what ever is lowest) when driving for extended periods at speeds over 100 mph. Check the note on the tire pressure placecard on the drivers door. I read the warning about speeds over 100 mph and to see manual and had to read that part of the book. I'd guess that is a good starting point.
